How long will it be before man realizes , WITHOUT CHRIST , ye simply cannot attain .
The first adam as well as all others prove this .
What man cannot attain , GOD CAN . what is impossible for man IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD .
TIME to preach the DIRE NEED TO FIRST BELIEVE ON JESUS THE CHRIST .
for without HIM we can do nothing .
The mind which believes one does not have to believe
in THE CHRIST OF GOD
but rather simply teaches to others that anyone can pick up his or her own cross
IS worse than a man who is nearly blind
and says HEY i dont need glasses to see , i can do this just fine .
No sirs . WITHOUT THE CHRIST OF GOD , its all in vain my friends .
He who believes has eternal life
but he who believes not has not eternal life but the wrath of GOD abides on HIM .
AS moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness
so too must the SON of man be lifted up ,
that all who DO BELIEVE , EPI , will not PERISH but have everlasting life .
ALL other religoins , including atheiesm , DO NOT BELEIVE JESUS IS THE CHRIST .
I would not want to be in the shoes of anyone who dared to call GOD a liar .
WHO calls GOD a liar , EPI , HE WHO BELIEVES NOT the TESTIMONY that GOD gave of HIS SON , epi .
For he has NOT beleived the TESTIMONY that GOD gave OF JESUS THE CHRIST .
So the pope is dead wrong as are many who now teach this inclusive social gospel
which tries its upmost to make folks think
and to beleive a lie that its just not necessary to have to beleive IN JESUS the CHRIST , and
that other religoins do have the spirit if they loved or etc
NO sir . HE who has the SPIRIT calleth JESUS THE LORD
and none that has the SPIRIT would call HIM accursed . I sure hope this starts sinking in real fast .

The believers in JESUS the CHRIST sure are marching on to ZION
the unbelievers are marching and headed somewhere else and that end is not good either .
TIME to remind all of the absolute and dire necessity to first Beleive ON JESUS the CHRIST .
GOD will judge the world .
Knowing the terror of GOD , aka HIS wrath , LETS PERSUADE all to come to CHRIST JESUS .
In he we have been spared the wrath of GOD , the wrath which we all earned and were under ,
but now in CHRIST shall escape . RAISE THEM HANDS , IT IS LORD PRAISINGTIME and THANKING TIME .

I believe Behold suffers from the following:

A person can certainly exhibit belligerence in their ignorance. This phenomenon is often referred to as "aggressive ignorance" or "belligerent ignorance." It describes a situation where someone not only lacks knowledge or understanding about a particular subject but also aggressively defends their incorrect beliefs or resists new information.
Totally agree! Where have you been? ;) So glad you are on he thread. :)

Peace to you <><

many suffer from what is commonly termed , or perhaps not commonly since i invented it ,
from the SSS .
selective scripture syndrome . they pick and choose a few scrips to twist to fit an idea they thought to be true .
THE SSS is one deadly disease too .

Whatever that means..lol.

This member has one actual teaching.. and he creates videos and Threads to just keep talking about "Higher walk in Zion" "outer man".

Did He even make it to page 2 on This Thread, before the 'outer man" and "zion walk" theology started up?


So, "the higher walk in Zion" is a reworking of Mormon theology, as they are the group that talks about the "Zion" stuff, and when this member says..>>>" ""the outer man".. .He is referring to the "outward man"... 2 Corinthians 4:16
And the verse is...>>>tho our outward man perishes, our inner man is renewed"..., and this "outward man" is the "body"

There is no "outer man" found in the NT.

There is the "inner man" who is born again, and there is the "old man of sin" that is "crucified with Christ"/

Where is the "outer man"...?

A.) In some Theology that someone read in a commentary, or made up.

C'mon now..

You are just angry because you have been called out on several Threads for trying to sell "gay sex" on the Forum as normal, natural.
You've tried to sell their gay sexuality as "love".
So, if you keep doing it, you're not going to like the end result..

Now, as that is what you do on a few THREADS, lets now look at your own words and see how clearly they find you like GLOVE., as most of the members here, realize that your following post, is describing you.


""""A person can certainly exhibit belligerence in their ignorance. This phenomenon is often referred to as "aggressive ignorance" or "belligerent ignorance."

I knew it . i was about to say his defintions sound very liberal indeed . they always label something
but mark my words , they never seem to back up their thought with SCRIPTURE . keep that in mind my friend .

one once labeled me as passive aggresive
when i simply told him a truth . a reminder .
one which he could not say was false cause deep down he knew was true .
I told him , so you are all for abortion
but aint you glad your mama didnt . he called that passive aggresive .
to which i said no its just the truth .
COURSE he never said it wasnt , cause he knew it was . they got many defintions my friend .
its a way of trying to stop the debate or arugemnt cause they know they done lost it .
its a tatic for when one has run out of gas and info and are stumped so all they can do is accuse .

Nothing got hurt . I just lay there for a minute and got up and thanked the LORD .

But ye have come unto Mount Zion and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, who are written in Heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,



So, "mount Zion" is a reference to God's Grace, and Mt Sinai, is a reference to Moses's Law... so, we see these are speaking symbolically, they are spiritual.

"The church of the Firstborn" is a Direct reference to (Jesus) = Colossians 1:15.. "firstborn over all creation", and "among many Brethren" .. Romans 8:9

Notice "INTO the city of the Living God"..., so that would be "born again", as "Translated from darkness , To Light"

So, "God is A Spirit", and therefore, what city can a SPIRIT be referring to as the city of the Living God?

A.) The Kingdom of God, as that is a spiritual kingdom, that the BELIEVER is born again into, as "in Christ" and "One with God".

So, how did they get there?

Did they have to walk, run, fly, hop, or leap?

No, they were born again into it...., and the reason they exist there, is because they are "in Christ" and "One with God'..

This is also explained as "Seated in Heavenly Places in Christ". would be "Have come to Mt Zion". "Into The City".


Now one more... @Arthur81 ...

"Spirits of JUST... men..... made perfect"/

So, what is "made perfect?

A.) The SPIRIT... and that is the born again Spirit, and its now become a "new creation" "In Christ" which is for the spirit to become PERFECT.
Before it wasn't because it was separated from God due to unforgiven SIN.
Genesis in fact refers to this situation as "dead", but that means that Adam's spirit was not in spiritual union with God "who is A Spirit", so, the NT defines that separation as "dead"., and IN Christ we are "made ALIVE".. which is our born again Spirit.

Why does the verse say "JUST men"?
Its because the born again Spirit, that is the CHRISTIAN, is "justified" by Christ's Cross, which is "Grace through Faith".... which is why they are "just".
This is "justification by Faith".

That alone be the only way one be just and justified . Preaching a christless cross and a works ya own way
wont be justifying or saving squat either . I never seen the one true gospel under attack
like i seen in these last days . a friggin false love works save thine self gospel has replaced it . THOUGH IT BE NO GOSPEL at all .
ideals like we can somehow attain , somehow save ourselves by our own efforts .
DIDNT bode too well for the jews did it , nor will it for anyone else . THERE BE ONLY ONE WAY
to be saved , to be made righteous , called just , justified , AND IT SURE aint what many be trying to teach today .
THAT NAME , JESUS THE CHRIST , rather is being TROD UNDER FOOT for a fairy tale gospel of a wordly version of love
and believe you me < ITS NOT GONNA SAVE squat didly doo either .
No one who is truly born again would deny JESUS THE CHRIST . the born again , are BORN OF GOD
not of darkness , not of a lies but OF GOD . and GOD TESTIFIES OF JESUS THE CHRIST THE SON . not some other
lovey do thine own works stuff and it dont matter what ya believe mindset .
WHY did the jews not attain to the law of righteousness , CAUSE THEY DIDNT DO SO BY FAITH .
IF we have NO FAITH IN HE WHOM GOD DID SEND , then OOPSY dont expect a pass , even the jews didnt get one .
TIME to preach JESUS THE CHRIST and that GOSPEL again . I worry so much for so many my friend . really i do .

What ive noticed is that the Thread's OP, can't explain the verses that he posts.

He's just recently posted a verse found in Hebrews..... and he can't explain it.
Therefore, he just posts it over and over.
I decided to explain some of it, and maybe he'll use this in his next Video, vs just posting the verse and saying.....>>"see there".

They say that the first casualty of war is the truth. Where it comes to warfare in the Spirit, are we involving ourselves as part of the solution, or part of the problem? Do we know ourselves? Do we know the nature of the warfare? Join me in this episode as the battle lines are clearly delineated.

Thank you @Episkopos for this podcast. I found myself absorbed... listening to a better explanation from you on these things than any I can recall. Of course, I am very forgetful these days... not remembering all the previous ones. But... God does not forget, does He?

Who among us has already overcome as Jesus overcame?

Who among us has reached a plateau and has stopped there instead of pushing on toward that distant higher peak?


Joh 3:30He must increase, but I must decrease.

When is it that we want Him to stop increasing in us?

When is it that we should stop decreasing in ourselves?

Rita , Guess what time it is now . ITS LORD PRAISING TIME again .
THE JOY OF THE LORD be our strength and the Salvation of the LORD be our JOY .
HANDS up sister . IF king david could dance so great a dance
when the tabernacle that contained the covenant did enter into jerusalem .
HOW MUCH MORE WE WHO HAVE THE NEW COVENANT IN JESUS THE CHRIST ought to be dancing and a thanking HIM .
SO , on that note and with that reminder , I SAY HANDS UP SISTER , ITS LORD PRAISING TIME AGAIN .

I feel the chill of an ill wind in the air. But alas I stand on my rock Jesus Christ in face of all adversity and corruption. And it just so happens that this thread is about confronting the enemy and his counterfeits.
I've allowed the enemy to use my words a few times on here and regretted it.

I want to look up to you and others here. You have more experience. I agree with a lot of what you say. I thought a lot about things youve said. I just can't get away from thinking patience and meek conduct is a standard for us all, even if our unique calling is leadership and exhortation. The lack of patience you recieve on here doesn't justify yours. The bar is higher for believers just like you said.

If I thought you were an enemy or a fool, I wouldn't say anything. I consider you neither, whether you agree with this or not.

Reader..

Just remember 3 things..

One...

If you are born again, then you have entered into a spiritual warfare with Darkness that is created by "the god of this world", The Devil.

Two..

You are to "fight the good fight of Faith" against the "devourer" who is the 'destroyer", and you fight Him with God's Armor, which is the "fight of Faith".

Three.

Most Important, remember that "The Battle is the Lords" , and if you study for a few mins, the verses in the NT, that speak of Jesus dealing with The Devil.... you will find that Jesus only used one weapon against the Devil.

A.) THE Holy SCRIPTURES.

So, study them, memorize them, and love them with all your heart, as the BIBLE is your SWORD and your Spirit, weaponry.
